The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Saw The Scene of Emma Throwing Herself into Charlotte’s Arms 

“It’s nothing, as long as it makes money,” Natalie replied indifferently. Flux Couture’s series of evening gowns was costly, and the Walker family had bought out the entirety of it for Emma. 

In other words, it was a custom order exclusively for Emma. 

Natalie said nothing more after that. She took out her phone and looked for the medicinal herbs she needed. 

Noticing her mood, Ophelia wisely refrained from saying anything further to disturb her. 

The car ride was silent. When they were about a mile from the Walker residence, they could go no further. Security stopped them at the gate, asking for a pass to proceed. This was the Walker family’s private estate, and outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering without permission. 

Natalie didn’t say a word. Instead, she dialed Charlotte. “Hello, Mrs. Walker, I’m at the gate.” 

“I’ll come get you right away.” Charlotte’s voice was filled with barely contained excitement. She didn’t even hang up the phone, nor did she bother changing her shoes before running directly toward the gate. 

“Mom!” 

Just as Charlotte stepped out of the gate, Emma came rushing over. Her eyes reddened as soon as she saw Charlotte. All the grievances she had endured at the Holden residence, particularly with Marcus, seemed to have found a place to pour out. 

“Mom!” Emma flung herself into Charlotte’s arms. Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she sobbed as though she’d been wronged beyond measure. 

“Mom, Marcus doesn’t like me. He wants to break off our engagement. I’m so heartbroken.” 

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but cry aloud. 

Charlotte felt torn between frustration and anxiety as Emma held her. This was her cherished daughter, whom she had doted on for years. Watching her cry so bitterly stirred a pang of sadness. 

“Emma, I know you’re upset, but you need to calm down.” Charlotte patted Emma’s back, trying to steady her voice. “There’s something I hadn’t planned to tell you yet, but now I 

must. 

“You’re not my biological daughter. My biological daughter is at the gate right now, and I need to go get her. Do you want to come with me?” 

Emma froze. She pulled away from Charlotte’s embrace, her worst fears realized in that instant. 

Her eyes were red and swollen, and there were still tears on her face. She looked utterly pitiful, with her shoulders trembling uncontrollably. 

“Mom, you must be joking, right?” she forced out a laugh as she asked in a trembling tone that betrayed the panic in her heart. “How could I not be your daughter? Have I done something wrong? Did I upset you? Tell me, and I’ll change.” 

“Emma, you haven’t done anything wrong. It’s just that we don’t share a blood relation. But don’t worry, you’ll always be a daughter of the Walker family even though your sister is back. You’ll always be my daughter. You’ve just gained a sister, that’s all.” 

Charlotte held Emma’s hand reassuringly. “Would you like to come with me to meet your sister?” 

Emma desperately wanted to say no, to shout that one daughter in the Walker family was more than enough. Why did they need two? But she didn’t dare to do so. 

Her face turned pale, and she nodded weakly. Ever since overhearing Charlotte’s phone call earlier, she had known that the Walker family would inevitably reclaim their biological daughter. 

Her plan to marry Marcus before the biological daughter returned had already fallen apart. Now, she could no longer afford to do anything that might upset the Walker family. She would be nothing without them. 

“I’ll come with you, Mom,” she said softly. “But what if she doesn’t like me?” 

Her voice was filled with unease. Her previously tear–streaked face made her look all the more pitiful. 

“She won’t dislike you.” Charlotte quickened her pace. “She isn’t that narrow–minded. Come on, Emma, hurry up.” 

With that, she started running. She could hardly wait to see her biological daughter. 

Watching Charlotte’s rapidly retreating figure, Emma dug her nails into her palms. In the past, whenever she was upset, Charlotte would patiently comfort her and even stand for her no matter who had upset her. 

But now, even as she cried her heart out in front of her, Charlotte barely bothered to respond. 

So, this was what it meant to not be related by blood. 

Emma took a deep breath. Fine. She would see for herself what this so–called biological daughter looked like. If she wasn’t exceptional, there was no way she would believe she couldn’t surpass her. 

up 

At the gates of the Walker residence, Natalie remained seated in the car. She had changed her clothes on the way there, opting for a simple black windbreaker. Her hair was tied up in a casual high ponytail, and she wasn’t wearing any makeup. Her demeanor appeared cold and detached. 

From the moment she hung up Charlotte’s call, she had been silently counting the time. The outer gate of the Walker residence was about a mile from the inner gate. 

Charlotte could arrive quickly if she drove or rode a car. It shouldn’t take too long, even on foot. 

Yet, over 30 minutes had passed, and there was still no sign of her. Nor had she instructed the guards to let them through. 

Feeling bored from waiting, Natalie grabbed a pair of binoculars from Ophelia’s car to pass the time. When she looked through them, her gaze gradually grew colder. 

Ophelia, seated beside her, suddenly felt the temperature in the car drop. The chill emanated from Natalie. 

“Boss, the Walker family is seriously underestimating you,” Ophelia said indignantly. “How can they make someone like you wait for so long?” 

“Watch your words,” Natalie replied, setting down the binoculars. Her fingers lightly tapped against the car window. “The Walker family is the wealthiest in the country. Offending them won’t do us any good.”
